Devil Makes Three, The - Goodbye Old Friend Lyrics






I need you and I want you 'cause I know you from before
I hate you and I fear you but I hold open the door
I see you and you see me and we know what must be done
So we draw knives and lock eyes 'cause it does no good to run

[Chorus:]
Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
We'll dance again in my dreams
Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
We'll dance again in my dreams

I've missed you, you know that's true and I've retraced every scar
My head sings and the steel rings 'cause we've traveled, oh so far
I chased you to embrace you like the sun chases the moon
I burn you and you burn me but I know I'll see you soon

[Chorus]

I've watched you and I've seen you and known that you were there
I've held and you've loved me but our lives cannot be spared
I trust you and despised you, shadowed your every move
Scorned you and warned you, befriended everyone you've used

Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
We'll dance again in my dreams
Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
We'll dance again in my dreams

    Tom Felton in Origin brought me here

  2. K.... H....

    josh, im so glad youre not gone for good like some of these people, im having to leave for a while and i only hope we're both strong enough mentally to cope alone for awhile... since i was 4 years old, youve been my best friend. theres been rocky periods over our 19 years, but youve shaped me more than i could ever shape you, just know you made me a better person no matter the outcome, our bongs and grinders are now in a local river somewhere. hopefully flowing away with all our bad karma. i love broski. i'll be back spoon. we always find a way back together somehow.

  46. p.... g....

    I cried remembering lost brothers

  47. L.... S....

    Thanks song for making me depressed with the first "Ahhhhhhhh ahhhh ahhh..." rip the dream

  48. c.... ....

    its about a unicorn and teddy bear dancing with knives

  49. F.... A....

    wow and most people have no clue what this is about

    F.... A....

    @Fancy Alien Boy A song means a different thing to everyone. It means one thing to the lyricist and a myriad of things to people who listen to the song. This song resonates to me for a completely different reason as I have never been an addict but I have lost close friends.
    It's not about a lyrical breakdown in search of metaphors it's about listening and _feeling_ It's not about showing off your "insight" or use of Google.
    Even if you know what this song is written about you are missing the point of music. Music is not a quiz that has a correct answer.
    Music is there as an outlet for feelings you may not be able to vocalise. It's a release.

  50. B.... B....

    this is about having to quit heroin. "retraced every scar" dance again in My dreams" had to do with how every addict in withdrawal dreams of getting high. "befriended everyone you used " "draw knives and lock eyes cuz we know What must be done "

    B.... B....

    sometimes you find whatever it is youre looking for

    B.... B....

    Look up follow me uncle kracker the song is about heroine

  51. G.... N....

    Good bye k...maybe in the next life hey? lord knows the past ones too..I'm sorry.

  52. c.... ....

    my brother and sister keep moving ride on keep moving muaraders

  53. A.... M....

    Mat, buddy. If I had to never see you again then I'd hold it against myself all my life. No other's friendship is as good as yours man. One of the only good things that came out of high school besides the diploma was befriending you, buddy. I fucking love you like a brother dude. God bless you, Pete Bernhardt

  54. m.... ....

    This songs is so fitting after the day I've had today. Today my friend of many years had to put her horse down that she had for many years. Even though she wasn't my horse I will Always miss her

  55. l.... ....

    Everly Brothers somewhere, but so good.

  56. L.... M....

    My tear drowning with liquor song.

  57. P.... J....

    this songs about jack daniels whiskey

  58. A.... V....

    I need you and I want you 'cause I know you from before
    I hate you and I fear you but I hold open the door
    I see you and you see me and we know what must be done
    So we draw knives and lock eyes 'cause it does no good to run

    [Chorus:]
    Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
    We'll dance again in my dreams
    Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
    We'll dance again in my dreams

    I've missed you, you know that's true and I've retraced every scar
    My head sings and the steel rings 'cause we've traveled, oh so far
    I chased you to embrace you like the sun chases the moon
    I burn you and you burn me but I know I'll see you soon

    [Chorus]

    I've watched you and I've seen you and known that you were there
    I've held and you've loved me but our lives cannot be spared
    I trust you and despised you, shadowed your every move
    Scorned you and warned you, befriended everyone you've used

    Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
    We'll dance again in my dreams
    Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
    We'll dance again in my dreams

    A.... V....

    C.... A....

    Chris Arias heartbreak of having to quit sweet lady chiva

  62. K.... ....

    pepe :( :(

  63. K.... ....

    rip pepe

  64. c.... j....

    I like this song and it kinda sounds like the everly brothers too me which makes me like it even more.

  65. E.... R....

    This is my Favorite song on this album !!!!  Seeing the Devil tonight for the 4th time !!!  Outdoors under the Big Sky ! Missoula Montana !!  Time To Dance !!!! Peace!

    E.... R....

    jealous. they're from my home states of vt and nh

  66. J.... J....

    Is it obvious that the friend is a drug ? Or am i reading something into this that isnt there ? 

    J.... J....

    Anyway the Wind blows........!

    J.... J....

    heroin is my guess.

    J.... J....

    It's the beauty of a really good melody. It's about whatever it makes you feel.

    J.... J....

    James Joiner to the "point" no pun intended

    J.... J....

    Only to addicts who think of nothing else. Who the hell thinks to their heroin "we'll dance again, in our dreams". That's retarded if it is about a drug because it doesn't work. It's obviously about a failed relationship. Alcohol and drugs don't draw knives and fight you. You fight them.

  67. S.... ....

    Beautiful song, and a wonderful band.

    S.... ....

    Hear mykonos from fleet foxes

  68. c.... g....

    I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove this song

  69. G.... F....

    cheers to anyone who's drinkin alone on a Saturday night, wishing that old friend could hear this song and come back even if you know they can't. this shot's for you 

    G.... F....

    A men brother just lost an old friend from drinking and driving while not wearing a seatbelt this one's for you chuckie..

    G.... F....

    change Saturday to Tuesday, night to morning, and then we're on the same page.

    G.... F....

    Fancy Alien Boy no it's not. Why does every addict think that? Name one time heroin fought you. It welcomed you with loving open arms every time. This is about a person. How do you burn heroin lmao? Maybe if you weren't so narccisitic and selfish you wouldn't have a self pitying drug problem.

    G.... F....

    Being sad and sober is the worst feeling in the world

    G.... F....

    @Jesse You burn heroin when you are smoking it... what a silly question. Also, drug addiction is a fight. Most of these guy's songs are about drug and alcohol abuse so it is not a reach to think this song is about heroin. There definitely are a few lines that make more sense when talking about a drug addiction then when talking about a friend.

  70. B.... M....

    i like...different from what im used to but im open to it

  71. 7.... M....

    What a haunting, beautiful song. Perfect ending to an excellent album.

    7.... M....

    75bunnies Media I hear this song cause it calming and I hear when I'm mad to calm down and sleep

  72. E.... Z....

    Love this....

  73. G.... N....

    ya'll rocked the shit out of Chico, CA….that venue only sells out when the best are there xP

  74. m.... ....

    Wonderfully haunting.

  75. M.... E....

    I feel like Hank Williams would cover this song. If that isn't a compliment I just don't know what is. Absolutely wonderful!

    M.... E....

    That's a compliment, by god

    M.... E....

    Hank Williams' version wouldn't be as good though. The Devil Makes Three covered a Hank Williams song (The Angel of Death). The Devil Makes Three did it better than Hank Williams. Now THAT's a compliment am I right?

    M.... E....

    tip-toeing the line of blasphemy... ;)

  76. B.... H....

    No better band this side of brown bird

  77. T.... ....

    100% american music

  78. S.... N....

    I was pleasantly impressed with your show at the House Of Blues in San Diego!  What was with the mosh pit?!  Anyway, you guys rock!  Thanks for the great music.

  79. J.... M....

    Just got done watching you guys in concert. In chico ca. You absolutely killed it. Amazing show. Thank you so much for coming to town. Also the band that opened the brothers comatose. Yall were amazing too. Great show n great music.

  81. F.... B....

    When I listen to you guys, I hate living in the wrong side of the Atlantic, I'd love to see you live! cheers from Canary Islands!

  82. R.... P....
